Alright, folks, gather ’round, let me tell you about this little adventure I had figuring out why WWE Raw is moving to Syfy. It all started when I saw a post online saying that Raw was gonna be on Syfy instead of USA for a couple of weeks. I thought, “What’s up with that?” So, I decided to dig a little deeper.
First, I checked out the official announcement from WWE. They are talking about these two weeks, July 29th and August 5th, when Raw is switching over. They also mentioned that NXT will be moving to Syfy on July 30th and August 6th. Okay, so it’s just for a short time, but why?
Then I saw something about the 2024 Summer Olympics. Apparently, USA Network, the usual home for Raw, will be showing the Olympics during those two weeks. Makes sense, right? A big event like the Olympics is gonna take priority. It reminded me of back in 2022 when Raw and NXT moved to Syfy because of the Winter Olympics. So, it’s happened before.
Digging a Little Deeper
I started looking into what else WWE had going on. Turns out, they made this huge deal with Netflix! Starting in 2025, Netflix will be the main place to watch Raw in a bunch of countries, like the US, Canada, the UK, and more. This is big news! It means WWE is really expanding its reach, and this temporary move to Syfy is just a small part of a much larger plan.
- Checking Dates: Noted down July 29th and August 5th for Raw, and July 30th and August 6th for NXT on Syfy.
- Finding the Reason: Learned that the Summer Olympics are the cause for the channel switch.
- Big Picture: Discovered WWE’s deal with Netflix, showing this is part of a larger strategy.
So, there you have it. WWE Raw is moving to Syfy for two weeks because of the Olympics, and it’s all part of WWE’s plan to grow and reach more fans through their new deal with Netflix. It is interesting to see how these things work out. I thought it was just a simple channel change, but it is connected to some major moves in the wrestling world!
